Originally posted by montana rodri i saw your tracklist yesterday and the obvious standout was of course "dvt2001". i wanted to see how you would work it. it was mainly for that reason i downloaded your mix, i didn't want to actually hear a mix of some of the most obnoxious brostep out there. but i try to listen to everyones mix as it's only fair. yeah, the mixing was decent up till the showdown remix and then it was all disjointed. dvt2001 was quite a nice addition but you needed to worked it better, maybe make an edit before. but yeah there was two songs that made me want to stab myself in the ears repetedly. for the love of jebus, don't ever use them again if you plan to play more dubstep.

Yes dvt2001 was an idea i had, i like to mix genres a lot in my sets but this wasn't dropped as should, just a snareroll or an fx would have made the track sit on the mix properly now the change is noticeable.

About track selection since i got no guideline i went for different dubstep subgenres, my favourite ones are the three first tracks, the rest are quite annoying if you ask me but i always thought dubstep was that kind of tracks so i was a bit scared of losing the trail.

Mixing is decent till the noisia track i agree on this that transition is completely fucked up the fact that the track is weird doesn't help either, that last part is just a drop of different styles that look like dubstep but that aren't dubstep really, like dvt2001 skrillex and converting vegetarians, i don't feel this is necessarily out of place just a creative track to finish a strange set.

14:10 transition... well i am not sure if this is harmonic or not, that pikes sound a bit offkey if you ask me but i don't find it specially annoying, i had a problem with this style, the software i use to key my tracks didn't work with this dubstep tracks, couldn't detect the bpm/key so i made this like a real set, i played the tracks i felt best suited in the moment.

About the intro... this is the part i'm more happy with to be honest, i searched for dubstep intro mixes but couldn't find any so i found this which looks like a little intro as i've said i like this 3 first tracks i think they fit fairly well.

This is the few things i've to explain, the rest is what you see

Downloading Sandleaper's ambient mix and Lews mix gonna listen tomorrow, next week i will listen the trihop mix and the other mixes i'vent listened yet.

So very tasty. I really enjoyed it. Not really much to say other than I liked it a lot. Some definite classics for me in there.

I liked this a lot, actually. Some of the mixing was a little hokey, but the tunes were pretty cool in my opinion. I know some of the wobble is hated around here, but I thought a few of these tracks were pretty sick. I think you executed it very well, including Converting Vegetarians at the end. That track brings me way back, because that happens to be the first psy album I ever heard! Nice work, man.

Another excellent mix here Tony, really well played. I can't add too much to what others have noted. I also really liked how you covered ground from different eras without resorting to any obvious material. I agree with Domesticated on his Innergy suggestion, Detox have put out some great tracks, one of my faves being Mindscape by Liquid Blue. There are also a few Detox duds though.

Also haven't much else to comment on here that hasn't already been said. I think this set could have been better given a bit more prep. time. You're definitely on the right track with your selections and chose some great punchy tracks but the mixing and flow definitely need some more work. Shame about the issues you were having with VirtualDJ.
I think mixing psytrance requires a certain boldness and if you're gonna play it safe which it sounded like to me, it tends to affect the flow. Sometimes taking a few risks with mixing can pay off but then again a lot of psy tracks can be a straight up pain in the ass to mix and place.
Anyway thanks for the mix, I'll probably look into picking up a few of the tracks you played here.

I had a very brief listen to Floyd's funky mix, I'll admit not really my bag but I'm going to have a proper listen and also to Rodri's Dubstep mix before I make any further comments. Also looking forward to hearing the mixes yet to be posted.

Tony I've told you what I think to it, your mix is excellent. Big faster than I thought you might go but it's pretty much spot on in every sense.

So far I've heard only the trip hop mix of Teezdalien and it is amazing. I am not familiar with this style a lot so it was a nice refreshment for me. Excellent flow throughout. Tomorrow I will also listen to most of the rest since I am free.

My mix will be delivered soon enough too I hope, I bought only few records but I have something like an idea on how to mix it.
